compressor for workshop

[Dick_Turpin_99]

So I've been looking around for a new single phase compressor for the workshop, narrowing it down to something like a Sealey or a SIP (who seem to have good deals now) with something likea 200 l tank and 14cfm free air delivery.

What's your experience with these in terms of quality?....or anyone suggest another brand?

Interesting choices.....I am on the point of ordering a SIP 200 protech air-mate.......so its good to see that brand made it in your top 3 as well.

Which way do you think you'll jump with these?

i have know idea at the moment i will make my final choice when i get enough
£££ i am looking at a s/h clarke air comp at the min as well a friend's granddad might be selling as well.

i have a large Sip autoplus 181 DP mig (not a hobby one) witch i love, fantastic build quality and wire feed much better than the larger sealey ones i have used in the past
